I added a comment to the bug report, but based on the amount of feedback
so far (almost none) I'd say the change probably wouldn't affect many
people. Whether it's a point-release change or a dev-release change is
hard to say, but unless more people object I'd say it isn't a major
shift and it could be implemented in any release.

Hi all,
We had an issue come into support about using the paint tools on a
grouped image - this has come up before (years ago, at least).
Basically, only the browser, pointer and help tools will recurse into
groups - the paint tools will not. This means that if you use the paint
tools over an image in a group, the grouped image will not get edited.
Instead, if there is not a top-level image one will be created and that
will be edited.
The question is - is this behavior something which should:
1) Be considered a bug
2) Be considered correct behavior
3) Be considered an anomaly - i.e. something which is probably a bug,
but too many people rely on to change without some sort of compatibility
mechanism
I realize this is an edge case; however, I thought it worth asking to
see if anyone here relies on the fact that images in groups do not get
affected by paint tools; or whether it would be far better than if did!
Basically I'm trying to decide if it should be 'fixed' (assuming the
current behavior is considered erroneous!), and if so whether it would
be suitable for a maintenance release (it is, strictly speaking, a
change in behavior), or only for a development release.

Any feedback gratefully received.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
